Holy heart attackAre you looking to commit suicide very slowly with food? KFC is here to help! Its new Double Down sandwich is coming to a KFC sad factory near you on April 12th.
You see, it's a sandwich, but instead of bread it uses fried fucking chicken. And in between those two pieces of fried chicken? Bacon and cheese, of course. And what looks like a mayonnaise of some sort, just to add some more fat to the equation.
The sandwich will be available in two forms. The Original Recipe sandwich will set you back about 540 calories, 32g of fat and 1380mg of sodium. The not-as-bad-for-you Grilled Double Down totals 460 calores, 23g of fat and 1430mg of sodium.
This seems like the sort of thing that should be taxed highly to pay for health care, no? Because anyone who eats this on a regular basis will be requiring expensive hospital visits, guaranteed.

The calories and fat are really not as bad as I was expecting them to be.

Since I don't care about the future, I will likely be trying one...or not, as I'd have to drive 15 miles to get to a KFC and if I'm driving 15 miles for the purpose of eating, KFC tends to not be my first option.

Whopper is worse. 670 calories and 1020 mg of sodium.
Chicken is better for you than beef, even when it's deep fried.

I saw a price of $6.99. If that's right, I won't buy it. I can get 8 pieces of chicken for $6.49 ($4.99/$5.99 at Kroger). Who am I kidding....I'll try it once!

I thought this was a "Swingers" reference.
As to the sandwich, it doesn't look like something I'd like.

I have read a couple more articles on this and the price is $4.99 for the sandwich and $6.99 for a combo.

I'm in for a combo with some mashed potatoes.
As long as they don't cut my gravy with boston market gravy to try and save some money!
